Ateneo Blue Eagles.. UAAP Season 71 Champ

The UAAP Season 71 has finally come to an end as the Ateneo Blue Eagles sweep off their bitter rival, the DLSU Green Archers in the Game 2 of the UAAP seniors men basketball finals and cop another title.

It was in 2002 when Ateneo last won a title which was also against the multititled DLSU.. 6 years.. quite long.. Coach Norman and the rest of the team assured that DLSU will never have the chance to retain its title and extend the tournament until sunday.

Chris Tiu, among all others, wanted this season to end perfectly. Having his last season this year, he assured that just before he leaves, Ateneo gets the title and so they did. They have their fourth title since joining the league.

But there's more reasons for Ateneo to celebrate. Earlier before the game yesterday was the awarding ceremonies and most of the awardees were from the champion team. Rabeh Al-Huseinni who plays center was the MVP and Ryan Buenafe who was pretty obvious a good player was the ROY for the season.

Indeed, Ateneo is a well-oiled machine who never stops till it reaches the top.

Congrats Ateneo. ONE BIG FIGHT!

See you all in Season 72!
